grabbed a towel, wiped tho lather off his face and dashed upstairs to tho sen
ate chamber. At ton seconds before tho assembling hour ho was in the chair,
gavel in hand, ready to call the senate to order, but fooling
very uncomfortable under tho surprised glances of his
colleagues. According to Senator Clark himself, the ono
gleam of comfort ho got out of tho situation was that tbo
shaven side of his face was toward tho Democrats, tho Re
publican side of the senate having a field of stubble to
look over.

Sergeant C. L. Dalrymple, who is stationed- at tbo door
of tho executive ofllces'of tho White Ilouse, has tho reputa
tion of 1 never forgetting a face ho has seen or a namo that
he has hoard once. Not long ago a practical joker wrote
him an unsigned letter that he was going to make a test of
his famed accomplishment Dalrymple puzzled over the
letter awhile and then forgot all about it A month or so
later ho trreetod a man by namo whom he had not seen be
fore for fifteen months and then only onco and learned that he had lived up to
his reputation as a "never forgetter."

Tom Ileflln, tho giant representative from Alabama, is ono of tho few men
under the capitol dome rash enough to embalm his poetry in the pages of the
Congressional Record. For all that both as poet and statesman, there havo
been many who havo shone less brightly than the Brobdlnnaglan banl from
"Alababm."

Protests by certain now members of tho bouse for whom accommodations
could not be found in tho house office building have resulted in tho decision to
add another story to that structure. Work will lo started soon, and it is
hoped to havo it finished by next spring. Tlio work will bo a simple matter,
for tho offlco building was constructed with a vlow to Just Buch an addition.
I Today's Short Story
A Parisian Episode f
WHILE sitting at a table before a
cafo ou tho Champs Elysees,
Paris, sipping a glass of ab
sinth, I heard voices at a table near
by. Several Frenchmen wcro talking,
one of whom was decrying American
women. I was young at tho tlmo and
especially hot headed even for a young
man. I throw caution to tho winds and,
turning to tho speaker, said:
"You contemptible "puppy. If I hear
another word from you derogatory of
my countrywomen I'll break my cano
over your head!"
Tho man looked at mo in astonish
ment, then said in tho most polito man
ner: "It will not bo necessary for ra'sleu
to do that"
Taking a card from his pocket ho
laid It on my table and waited evi
dently for mo to give him mine. Since
thero was nothing elso for mo to do
I mado tho exchange, giving blm 11
card on which was my address.
Within an hour ono of tho party I
had seen in tho cafo called upon mo
with a challenge I was not prepared
to "crawfish," so I put on a bold front
But in order to gain tlmo I told my
visitor that, having medical examina
tions on hand, it would bo two days
beforo I Could grant his principal a
meeting; ho would hear from mo in
duo time.
I Immediately repaired to tho fencing
academy of M. Fournier, told my story
to its celebrated principal and asked
him If bo could put mo In any condi
tion to fight within tho limit of tlmo,
Ho gavo mo a foil and fenced with mo
for half on hour, at tho end of which
ojvrp From
XOa&h ington
niLE Senator James P. ClarU of Arkansas was
presiding over the senate during the abaenco
of Vice President Marshall ho gave ono of the
colored barbers at tbo capital the shock of his
Ufa Tho senator had lost track of the time aud was
being shaved when Iks chanced to look at tho clock.
The timepiece pointed to 11:58, and, as the senator was
due to be in tho presiding officer's scat"proclsely at 12,
it looked bad for him. With an exclamation that
caused the darky beside him to gasp with astonish
ment, tho senator made a flying leap from the chair,
BENATOn CLAHK.
en-sixteenths Chickasaw. lie is also some lighter, wag
ing constant and unremitting warfare against tho ex
travagances of Indian administration in his state. Ev
ery session when tho intricate Indian appropriation bills
conio forth Carter is always to bo found neck deep in
tho battle for his Indian friends bock home. When ho
was twenty-two years old Carter bolted a machlno mado
6tato convention which had nominated for governor a
candidate with whoso principles and personality Carter
did not bellevo his pcoplo were in accord. Ho took two
full blood Indians with him in tho bolt, and between
thorn thov nrmiitrort for tho nomination at another con-
time bo told mo thero must bo some
thing tlw matter with my sight since
my thrusts invariably fell far short
of the mark. I told him that an ac
cident had deprived mo of tho use of
one eye, with tho accompanying loss
of power to adjust a focus. lie looked
very gravo.
On a table was a pile of circulars of
the fencing ncadoray, each bearing a
half tone picture of its principal. I
picked up ono of them, remarking that
I would keep it for tho likeness, where
upon M. Fournier opened n drawer in
wliich were a number of cabinet size
photographs of himself and, selecting
one, handed it to me. I asked him to
put his signature on it, and ho wrote:
To Dr. Alexander Germain, whose skill
with tho toll far exceeds ralno.
QUSTAVE FOURNIER.
An idea had struck him, and the mo
ment I read what ho had written it
struck mo. With a grateful prcssuro
of the hand I left hlui and, going to
my rooms, placed his photograph in a
conspicuous placo on my mantel. Then
I sent a incssago to my adversary's
second that I would bo happy to seo
him with a view to settling tho prelimi
naries of a meeting.
All Paris know tho faco of Gustavo
Fournier, and my visitor had not en
tered my room beforo tw noticed tho
picture and, going to it road tho pres
entation inscription, no then took tho
scat I offered him with a different ex
pression on his faco.
"To begin," I said, looking at him
savagely, "having tho cholco of weap
ons,, I chooso rapiers. I prefer extra
size, extra length, if thoy can bo ob
tained." He listened to all I had to say with
out n remark and left mo to report tho
terms. Ho returned after awhllo with
tho statement that bis principal had
been misunderstood; that bo had tho
highest regard and' admiration for
American women and could not con
sent to meet mo on such an Issue.
I took ten lessons of Fournier at (50
a lesson.
Tho thin woman must eat all she
wants and then a llttic bit more; she
must rest a great deal, especially after
eating; she must exercise for half an
hour each day and tako only ono sweat
bath a week, ( but a lukewarm bath
should bo taken every day.
Sulphur for purifying the blood can
bo taken with molasses. Mix one ta
blespoonful of molasses to two of sul
phur. Tako a tablespoonful each morn
ing for throe mornings, then stop for a
morning and then tako for three morn
ings. Do this for about two weeks.
Groon liquid soap, which is recom
mended by skin specialists for fine
skins or for those which have the pores
extended, can bo mado at home. Take
equal parts of glycerin, water, alcohol
and green castllc soap. Shave the soap
Into tho water and stir over the fire un
til the mixture is smooth. Add the
glycerin and lastly, after tho kettle Is
removod from the fire, the alcohol.
Add a tablespoonful of enu de cologne
if perfume is desired.
A COZY CORNER FOR
WILLOW CHAIR AND FANCY CUSHIONS.
RAIDING combined with embroidery was used for tbo decoration of the
linen sewing table cover illustrated here and tho cushions for tho easy
chair which stands by the open window, where it can command both
light and air when the housewife sits down to attend to tho weekly
mending. Tho cover on tho table matches in tone tho portieres and curtains
of tho room. The chair is one of the season's novelties in willow.

BEAUTY HINTS FOR OFFICE $
GIRLS.
Aro you worn and tired? Is
your face wrinkled with care?
In nine cases out of ten you will
havo to answer "Yes" if you
have any respect for tho truth,
for in pxs summer time futiguo
and its accompaniment of
wrinkles is a common com
plaint among women.
Very few women know bow to
rest Tbo llfo of tho nverago
girl, whether she works in an of
flco, labors at homo or lolls in
luxurious case, is usually filled
to tho brim with useful or use
less tasks which sho feels she
must perforin. It is all right to
keep busy, but it is all wrong to
regulate your lifo so that you
must keep on tho go from morn
until night without a moment's
rest It is tills continuous rush
and bustle which destroy beau
ty, briug on wrinkles and en
courage fatigue.
Stop and rest awhile If you
havo any desire to preserve your
good looks!
Let us tako first tho case of
tho girl in the office. Of courso
sho will find it more difficult
than her home sister to find tlmo
to rest in tho midst of her work,
but if sho is determined to find
It sho will succeed. Certainly
sho cannot Ho down and tako an
afternoon siesta tho very great
est aid to good looks but sho
can very easily tako ten minutes
from her luncheon hour In which
to sit very quietly in her chair,
eyes closed, body relaxed, mind
a blank to everything except
rest Ten minutes of such treat
ment will leave her wonderfully
refreshed if sho can manago to
relax completely for oven that
short time.
Then when sho arrives home,
wliich sho docs probably a llttlo
earlier than in tho winter time,
Instead of rushing to wash and
dress herself for an early dinner
or hurrying to finish a bit of
sowing sho has been doing in
leisure hours, why not tako off
one's clothes and Ho down for a
half hoar or moro?
i An Old Favorite
I A Recipe For Salad f
To make this condiment your poet boga
The pounded yellow of two hard boiled
eggs;
Two boiled potatoes, passed through kitch
en sieve,
Smoothness and softness to tho salad give.
Let onion atoms lurk within tho, bowl
And, half suspected, animate tho whole.
Of mordant mustard add a slnglo spoon.
Distrust tho condiment that bites 'so soon,
But deem It not, thou man of herbs, a
fault
To add'a double quantity of salt.
Four times tho spoon with oil from Lucca
crown
And twloe with vinegar procured from
town.
And lastly o'er the flavored compound
toss
A magic soupcon of anchovy sauce.
O green nnd glorlou3l O herbaceous treat!
'Twould tempt the dying anchorlto to cat.
Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting
soul
And plunge his Angers In tho salad bowl.

SEASONABLE CANNING
HINTS.
For all simnln mnml fruits It
Is best to mako a sirup of sugar
and water, varying tho sweet- J
ness to suit different fruits. $
When this sirup has boiled about j
two minutes drop In tho fruit $
Thorough scalding of berries is j
all that is necessary. Tho fruit 1
thus canned is whole and of good J
color. A can is seldom lost J
Surplus Julco with a distinctive
flavor may bo cannod and put I
away until some later fruit rip- J
ens. Tho Juices may then bo I
mixed and made into Jelly, or it
is an excellent addition to mince
meat for flavoring and coloring
pudding sauces, for tapiocas, etc.
Tho sick person will find the
Juices of peaches, apples, rasp
berries, blackberries, strawber
ries and barberries a very re
freshing drink.
Tho largest amount of spoiled
fruit is duo to the Jurs and cov
ers not being thoroughly steriliz
ed. Before using the clean Jars
should bo put on in enough cold
water to cover them and boil for
ten minutes; thou they are ster
ilized. They should bo lifted
from this hot water Just as thoy
aro needed. Tho Importance of
tight lids and now rubbers can
not bo overestimated. Only new
rubbers should bo used, nnd thoy
should bo dipped into hot water
before being placed on tho Jar.
There aro a number of llttlo
contrivances that may bo bought
for a trlflo or even mado at homo
that aro great labor savers when
canning fruit Parers and corers
for peaches, pears and apples
may bo bought cheaply. Tho
best paring knlfo is a good pock
ctknifo with tho butt of tho
blado wrapped to protect tho
hand nnd prevent cramping.
Tho short kitchen knives are
also useful and may bo bought
for 5 or 10 cents each. Tbo Jar
filler is ono of tho most useful
helps. It is not merely a funnel,
but screws on to tho Jars like a
lid and does not allow tho liquid
to como In contact with tho rubbers.
